Sanskrit English Dictionary: Being A Practical Handbook With Transliteration, Accentuation, And Etymological Analysis Throughout

About the Book: - The author has made an elaborate attempt with the aim of the present work is to satisfy within the compass of a comparatively handy volume all the practical wants not only of learners of Sanskrit but also of scholars for purposes of ordinary reading. It is transliterated. It can thus be used, for example, by comparative philologists not knowing a single letter of the Devanagari alphabet. None of the others is etymological in any sense. This feature of this dictionary increases both its usefulness from a linguistic point of view and its practical value to the student, who will always better remember the meaning of a word, the deprivation of which is made clear to him. Lastly, this is the only one of the lexicons in question which indicates not only with respect to words, but also to their meanings, the literary period to which they belong and the frequency or rarity of their occurrence. This book is scientifically and practically important as it may be regarded as registering the advance of Sanskrit lexicography up to the present time.
